Thanks Ken, I understand what you are saying on yard lead. I'll try and figure out how to connect reversing loop to outer track.
First layout ill be doing, so appreciate everyone's comments so far. I kinda think I'm waisting space? But not sure how to go about it differently.
Edward G, thanks for sharing the layout references. I looked them all up. Only thing I see w those, I need min 72 curves for several of my trains, 21" cars, bigboy etc. But, it gives me some layout ideas to consider. Much appreciated.
Bigtruck, appreciate your comments as well, where you drew the red line, is where my projected doorway is planned to be, only reason I connected the loop down like that was to make it easier to take a removable bridge out.
I like your idea on the mountain upper loop, need to figure out how to do that, I'm learning as I go. Thanks!
